Off the beaten track, north of Malindi, then a boat ride on the Tana River, then to a dock, up many stairs to the top of a sand dune and the Lodge. It is a stunning place on the confluence of the sea and the river. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms perfectly decorated.

This is one of most unusual and beautiful beach properties in the world. Our room was on top of a sand dune and we had beautiful and unspoilt views of the beach on one side and the tana delta on the other. The staff are excellent, and a special thank you to Kazungu who made us feel so welcome.

We went to Delta Dunes to enjoy a very relaxing, silent and wonderful holiday. The rooms are completely open with no walls. The food was superb and the service was one of the best thatwe have enjoyed in Kenya. It has a lot of steps because the hotel is located on the top of the dune. The beach is super...

We visited here in October, we were a party of 8. Beautiful views our hut was perched on top of a sanddune with views of the valley and the sea,room beautifully furnished, lovely views from the base camp and spectular views. Lawrence and all the staff looked us so well and Daniel the chef superb,and nice touch of a cake...

Stayed here for 4 nights in December 2014. Had a fabulous time and all the management and staff are so warm and welcoming. It's a complete different stay hidden away from reality. The chef made a great effort and gave yummy food for us vegetarians.

Great Beach, with Place for Beach sailing or biking, great Food fresh and delicious,very friendly and helpfull stuff, who does everything for you with a smile and it seems like...

We spent Two nights in this paradise with other families over New Years Eve.
What a fantastic spot, put together simply, elegantly and very comfortably.
The staff were friendly and attentive, but not too familiar.
Service was excellent.
Lots to do, and a perfect match of Beach and Bush.
We will definitely go back - well done!

Visited way back in 2010 hence this review is long overdue. It was a familiarization tour for me being a reservationist for Delta Dunes Lodge, Nairobi office. Accompanied by my then 2yr old daughter and a niece, we were picked from Malindi by the head guide Kazungu. The transfer by road took about 2.5hrs then another 20 minutes boat transfer....

The thought of a Swiss urban family staying in Bungalows without walls (just thatched roofs), 24/24h outdoors, in the middle of Kenya seemed strange to us, too. Or to say, we also had our doubts about it, especially as we are a Swiss urban family and it is not only the snakes that one thinks of as a threat before...

Delta Dunes, "The Wild place by the Sea," is a lodge uniquely combining beach, river and bush to give you an unforgettable experience. Perched on top of miles of rolling rippling sand dunes with fabulous views overlooking the old delta of the Tana River on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, alfresco accommodation and mess area are built in a castaway style but with all the ultimate comforts. This is the only wetland of its type in Eastern Africa. Explore this phenomenon with incredible birdlife; aquatic life and wildlife coupled with endless miles of vast uninhabited beach that is wild, exciting and extremely beautiful……all to yourself!
